objectives are met more efficiently by buying the spread. The goal is to
|
||||
profit from the delta move down from $80 to $75. Exhibit 9.8 shows the
|
||||
differences between the greeks of the outright put and the spread when the
|
||||
trade is put on with ExxonMobil at $80.55.

As in the call-spread examples discussed previously, the spread delta is
|
||||
smaller than the outright put’s. It appears ironic that the spread with the
|
||||
smaller delta is a better trade in this situation, considering that the intent is
|
||||
to profit from direction. But it is the relative differences in the greeks
|
||||
besides delta that make the spread worthwhile given the trader’s goal.
|
||||
Gamma, theta, and vega are proportionately much smaller than the delta in
|
||||
the spread than in the outright put. While the spread’s delta is two thirds
|
||||
that of the put, its gamma is half, its theta one third, and its vega around 42
|
||||
percent of the put’s.
|
||||
Retracements such as the one called for by the trader in this example can
|
||||
happen fast, sometimes over the course of a week or two. It’s not
|
||||
necessarily bad if this move occurs quickly. If ExxonMobil drops by $5
|
||||
right away, the short delta will make the position profitable. Exhibit 9.9
|
||||
shows how the spread position changes as the stock declines from $80 to
|
||||
$75.
